POPSRedneck Wrecking Ball and Profile in Courage - Videos It must be a redneck behind the controls of the wrecking ball in our first video because who else would be so careless that he would allow a wrecking ball to swing out into the street right into the afternoon traffic? The second vid is remarkably inspiring and worth a look.

POPSAre "Cheeky" Cemetery Campers The Nouveau "Chic" Of Travelers?
Let's step away from Christmas for just a sec and channel Halloween again - I came across this article from news.com.au complaining about so-called "cheeky," low-budget travelers pitching tents in a local graveyard. The article derides such travelers as part of the "backpacker brigade" descending on the hapless Town of Darwin, Australia. The article goes on to refer to such travelers as "tight-fisted." Possibly. But, if you do a Google search on the phrase "haunted travel destinations, guess how many hits you get? As of about 2 minutes ago, 3.6 million, to be exact. So, that got me to thinking. Instead of posting no camping signs on the headstones, as town officials apparently have done, Darwin ought to consider its name, think "survival of the fittest," and tap into the haunted travel craze. I clipped just two hits from my Google search, which includes a specialized haunted travel channel on travelchannel.com, nicely sub-divided into one's choice of aliens, creepies, an

POPSPOLITICAL AFFILIATION BY SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS If one’s mind-set is rooted in the new liberalism, one tends not to be materialistically successful. If one is unsuccessful, one is likely to support intermedling state authority in the hope that through government management, he or she will be provided for by economic-leveling. Those who support "progressive" government, hope to escape their personal ineffectiveness. Those who are intellectually advanced, do not support the advancement of centralized power that encroaches upon, and diminishes their liberty.

POPS Economic Stimulation I’m a little late to today’s economic-stimulus exasperation party. Sorry. I was busy working at my unstimulated private-sector job, which uses pulp, ink, trucks, pens, notebooks and a lot of eletronics plus electricity and employs hundreds of taxpayers directly and indirectly to tell people how the hacks are trying to shaft them in Boston. It was great. I enjoyed it. Even though, far from looking for or getting any support, we’ve had to fight the government over simple things like the freedom to enter business relationships with other news organizations that might have made us more financially viable. Thank you, Ted Kennedy, liberal lion.

Simmons, In the view of Diablo Cody Jennifer's Body is not as hot as you hope it would be.His words states —its particularly teenspeak — was a revelation in Juno, Jennifer's Body tries hard to be cool, gross and nasty but feels forced and misses the mark.

Some of the pieces in this horror/comedy hybrid are marginally inspired: such as an alt-indie band (fronted by Adam Brody) who turn to ritualistic murders since the field is so tough to make a name in and the hapless efforts of such school officials as Mr. Wroblewski (J.K. Simmons) to cope with a grisly killing spree that is decimating the student body.

POPSPropping up the Megalomaniac The NDP and the PQ betrayed Canadians today when they supported the hapless, non-transparent, corrupt government of Stephen Harper and his Conservatives. They finally had a chance to end the reign of the Mini-Bush who has been completely botching and slowing down Canada's recovery from the global financial meltdown, and driving the deficit up to never-before-seen levels after they promised a balanced budget, based on minuscule concessions they would have easily gotten with a Liberal government. Congratulations, boys, for being part of the problem.

POPS"Machine rebellion begins: Killer robot destroyed by US jet"
more: The statement goes on to say that the errant killdroid "impacted the side of a mountain" and that there "were no reports of civilian injuries". USAFCENT don't specify just what manned jet went up against the mutinous machine, or what methods the pilot used. However the logical choice would be a fighter plane - probably an F-15, -16 or -18 - and the cheapest and most fun weapon to use would be cannon fire. Opposition from the Reaper wouldn't be an issue, as it is a low-performance aircraft compared to a jet fighter and has no air-to-air capability. It wasn't clear from the US military announcement whether the erratic death-bot had turned on its masters and was planning an attack on critical US logistics bases located north of the Afghan border, or whether it had sickened of reaping hapless fleshies like corn and was hoping merely to escape. Alternatively the machine assassin may merely have succumbed to boredom or - just possibly - a mundane, non-anthropomorphic technical fa

POPSThe Bad Medicine of the Republican Doctors Then there's Oklahoma Senator and unexpected Obama confidante Tom Coburn. As a Senate candidate in 2004, Dr. Coburn famously warned that "lesbianism is so rampant in some of the schools in southeast Oklahoma that they'll only let one girl go to the bathroom." Upon his arrival in the Senate, the former obstetrician was elevated to the Judiciary Committee despite having advocated the death penalty for doctors who perform abortions. More recently, Coburn the C Street marriage counselor to John Ensign and Mark Sanford turned Deather:

POPSCultural Dictionary More - "The dictionary's chapter on ethics reflects, the agency suggests, the deep disillusionment in once-blue-chip institutions, and so, "Goldman Sacked," which refers to someone being canned from the investment banking business. "Madoffing" means scamming someone. To be "Spitzer'd" is to be caught doing a hypocritical act (by the FBI, maybe?). It's worth noting that the disgraced and hapless executive is quickly becoming a stock character in advertising." My favorite is "Land it like Sully."

POPSRussian News: American capitalism gone with a whimper 
This Russian Newspaper (Pravda) article continues... Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish. Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox churches are scandalously liberalized in Ame

POPSAmerican capitalism gone with a whimper 
Found in Russian newspaper Pravda. The author hits on some painful truths. The American population is dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather than the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas than the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. We care more for our "right" to choke down a fast food burger than for our constitutional rights. Then we lecture the world about rights and democracy. We so desperately wanted a change from Bushco that Barack Obama looked like the obvious answer. Be careful for what you wish for. His first three months has been devoted to spending money faster than at any time in American history. If this keeps up for another year America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe. To top it off, there is a planned redesign of the tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dol

POPSFBI Blows It: Supposed NY Terror Plot Is Bogus As a citizen of the US, I expect and demand that those people charged with our protection know what they hell they are doing. To put their trust in some informant for his pitiful personal agenda is not only lazy and haphazard police work but it is criminal. The attitude of the FBI is that they are above suspicion but they are turning out to be the only true terrorists this nation needs to worry about.
